Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 949 - 947: The Mysterious Man

"I suggest you think about your own situation first."Wang Zhan looked at the people in front of him and then shook his head.

Right now everyone’s gaze was fixed on Xie Fengyun; it wouldn’t be long before they directly made a move against him.

By then, Xie Fengyun wouldn’t even have a chance to run.

After all, they were all trapped inside the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation; getting out was practically harder than ascending to the heavens...

Xie Fengyun’s white teeth were almost grinding to pieces. After giving the people beside him a cold, sinister look, he said in an icy voice, "Since all of you insist on listening to him, then don’t blame me for being rude to you."

As he spoke, they saw Xie Fengyun suddenly raise both hands, pushing the power around his body to its absolute limit.

Since he could no longer escape, he naturally had to go all out in one last fight.

Even if he really could drag a few down with him, it wouldn’t be a loss for those around him.

In an instant, a layer of black light shrouded Xie Fengyun’s body. He glanced at Wang Zhan, then said in a gloomy tone, "You damn bastard, even if I die, so what?"

"I believe most of the people here will keep treating you as their enemy. Don’t even think about walking out of here with the Divine Heart safe and sound. In the end you’ll pay the price you deserve for what you’ve done!"

Unfortunately, Wang Zhan didn’t respond to his words.

In the next second, with a thunderous boom, Xie Fengyun’s body exploded on the spot, and the people standing closest to him were all torn into bloody chunks.

In an instant, the stench of blood spread through the air.

The remaining few all turned to look at Wang Zhan, their eyes full of hope.

Clearly, in their view, they seemed to have survived...

But a cold smile curled the corner of Wang Zhan’s lips. He walked up to Li Du as if nothing were wrong, folded his arms, and said slowly, "I really was planning to let them leave, but I don’t know what you think?"

Many faces turned uglier again.

Earlier, every one of them had made things hard for Li Du. Now that Wang Zhan had handed the say-so to Li Du, wasn’t he just pushing them into the fire pit?

As soon as they heard this, one of them immediately shouted anxiously at Wang Zhan, "Mr. Wang, you can’t go back on your word! Even if you want Li Du to make a move against us, you should at least let us out of this damn formation first, right? We’ve already killed Xie Fengyun exactly according to your intentions—are you still planning to keep us under your control?"

Wang Zhan said nothing.

His gaze remained fixed on Li Du at his side.

Li Du, standing to one side, could only shake his head helplessly. He raised his thumb toward Wang Zhan, then said with a face full of resignation, "I have to say, kid, you really are hateful. You actually turned all their hostility straight onto me, and now you’ve even made everyone treat me as their enemy..."

Wang Zhan answered with a look of total indifference, "If you’re planning to let them go, I don’t care. I’ve already given them my word, so whether you let them leave or keep them here, that’s your business."

"Anyway, the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation will be broken soon. As long as you understand that, it’s enough."

Li Du sighed. Step by step, he walked up to the edge of the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation, letting his gaze sweep over everyone present. Then they saw his fingertip tap lightly against his own forehead a few times before he said with a smile, "A lot of you have grudges with me; I’m sure you know my temperament, right? I’m not the kind to let you walk away easily. Since I’ve got the chance, then naturally I should..."

While he was speaking, Li Du’s expression suddenly darkened.

In the next instant, his hand was already raised, and he slammed it down hard toward the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation in front of him.

Obviously, he meant to slaughter them.

But half a second passed, and the Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation did not shatter, nor did the people inside suffer any harm.

Instead, standing in front of Li Du was a middle-aged man in white robes.

The middle-aged man gave Li Du a calm, indifferent look, then spoke slowly, "Spare them where you can. Since you already have the upper hand, why keep pressing them so hard? If I kill them all, what good does that do you? Everyone came here for the Divine Heart and nothing else. Whether you can get the Divine Heart or not depends on your own ability."

"What you’re doing now is nothing but breaking the balance."

Hearing this, all eyes turned to the man who had spoken.

For a moment, a trace of surprise appeared in everyone’s eyes.

Standing to the side, Li Du slightly furrowed his brows. Before he could speak, he saw Xiang Tian already walk to the side of that man in white robes, and he said calmly, "Didn’t you see this group of people make the first move against us? Now most of the people Inside Tian Pavilion have already sacrificed their lives. How could we possibly just let this go so easily? You old geezer sure speak lightly—just moving your red lips and white teeth a bit, and you want us to back off? Who do you think you are?"

The man in white robes beside him let out a cold snort. He looked at Xiang Tian with a face full of disdain, then finally said blandly, "If it were someone else speaking, there might still be a chance to talk, but what the hell are you? Your strength is the worst of all. If it weren’t for Wang Zhan at your side, you’d probably have already lost your life by now. A clueless junior like you actually dares to shout in front of me?"

"Looks like you really are seeking death, huh?"

Hearing this, Xiang Tian’s expression instantly changed.

During Wang Zhan’s fight with the others, Xiang Tian’s strength had gradually recovered quite a bit. Although he didn’t want to get into conflict with others, seeing the expression on the man in white robes, he suddenly went mad and charged toward the man in white robes at high speed.

The next second, he saw the man in white robes slowly raise his hand, then directly clash with Xiang Tian.

With just a single move, Xiang Tian had already retreated several steps. His face turned much paler, and his aura became far more chaotic.

Luo Xue hurriedly walked to his side and supported Xiang Tian, her gaze blazing as she stared at the man before them. She clenched her teeth tightly and then said word by word, "What the hell are you? On what grounds do you lay hands on my friend?"

"I already said he has no right to shout in front of me, but this bastard ignored it and still dared to boast shamelessly before me. How could I possibly let him off so easily?"

The next second, the man suddenly raised his hand, clearly having already formed the intent to kill Xiang Tian.

But before his movement could continue, he saw Wang Zhan already appear before him from the side and clash with him.

With a loud boom, Wang Zhan and the man both retreated several steps.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly. After giving Wang Zhan a glance, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile, and he slowly said, "Looks like I did underestimate your strength. I have to admit, kid, you do have some skill. But compared to me, you’re still far too lacking. If you keep being this stubborn, don’t blame me for showing no mercy. I just love doing things like秒杀天才—instantly killing so-called geniuses."

Wang Zhan, standing to the side, let out a cold smile. He slowly raised his hand, and immediately, the Fire Qilin proudly appeared at his side.

During this period of time, he had always kept the Fire Qilin with him, except the Fire Qilin was too exhausted and had been hiding in his arms, sound asleep.

Of course, this was also a method of cultivation for the Fire Qilin.

Wang Zhan could clearly feel that at this moment, the Fire Qilin’s strength had already far surpassed his own.

The moment he saw the Fire Qilin, the man in white robes indeed showed a much uglier expression. He subconsciously retreated a few steps, then clenched his fists and squinted at Wang Zhan as he asked, "How could there be such an Ancient Exotic Beast by your side?"

The Fire Qilin looked utterly proud, completely ignoring the man’s words.

Wang Zhan said indifferently, "That’s none of your concern. If you keep trying to make things difficult for me, the Fire Qilin naturally won’t just stand by and watch. Add in me and Li Du working together, and there won’t be any good end for you!"

The man in white robes hesitated for a moment. He had originally planned to step in and save the day, which would win him quite a bit of goodwill, but he never expected to end up humiliated instead...

For the moment, the man in white robes also fell into hesitation.

Seeing that he still hadn’t spoken, Wang Zhan impatiently spoke again, "Have you made up your mind or not? Let me give you a piece of advice: you’d better not keep testing my patience here. Otherwise, it’ll do no good for anyone."

"After all, the ruins have already opened. I’m sure everyone is trying every possible way to enter the ruins, all for the sake of finding the Divine Heart we need as soon as possible. So we’d better not waste our energy here for nothing."

In truth, Wang Zhan didn’t want to make a move against the man in white robes either.

The Fire Qilin counted as one of his trump cards.

Now, he had already learned from the Sword Spirit that there were still quite a few experts hidden nearby in the dark, so he had to be fully prepared. Only in a truly desperate situation would he reveal his trump cards.

To be prepared for the unexpected.

After hesitating for a while, it was clear the man in white robes shared the same thought as Wang Zhan.

Next, they saw the man in white robes nod slightly, then say flatly, "Since that’s the case, I won’t bother arguing with you any further."

"But don’t think it’s because I’m afraid of you. I simply don’t want to start a big fight with you here. After all, my goal is also the Divine Heart."

"Once I obtain the Divine Heart, that will be the day you die!"
